Description of Problem: When XEmacs is started in a utf locale, it doesn't default to using utf-8 encoding for buffers and files. How Reproducible: every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. LANG=en_US.utf-8 Actual Results: XEmacs uses iso8859-1 encoding by default. Expected Results: Should use utf-8 encoding by default.
This should be fixed in xemacs-21.4.12-8.
Still very much broken as of xemacs-21.4.15-5 (FC2). I get a nice "U00E1 not defined" message when pressing á (dead-' + a, á in HTML-speak; spanish keyboard). Strangely, some characters do work (but seem to give Latin-1 input, i.e. ¿).
